A Prediction Module for Smart City IoT Platforms

In this book chapter, our first aim is to show the importance of prediction in the daily lives of people living in urban areas. Hence, prediction becomes an important part of smart city applications. This work first presents most of the IoT platforms available and compare them according to their capabilities including prediction. The prediction module developed as a part of the VITAL project is explained later. The prediction techniques employed in the module and integration of the module to the Vital platform are also detailed. The traffic speed predictions for the traffic sensors deployed by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality is presented. The prediction performance of the employed techniques is also evaluated.
